Im trying to build a kit for my power fc. im buying the apexi solenoid but which MAP sensor can i get that doesnt cost $150. There are other 3-bar map sensors that cost significantly less, like $50. the only thing that can be different is the voltage to pressure ratio that the signal wire sends to the ecu. anyone have any idea if there is another MAP sensor i can use?

Thanksthoams

Anyone know anyone who has one that works? I Have known a few people that have tried with no luck. A guy at apexi told one of my friends to just get a AVCR and don't bother with PFC boost controler.
